Replacing the Door Panels

1. Replace the refrigerator or freezer door panels:

Open refrigerator or freezer door.

Carefully slide the

¹⁄₈" (3.18 mm) decorator panel into

place behind the side trim.

Push the filler board into place behind the decorator
panel.

Repeat process for other panels and filler boards.

2. Attach the handles:

NOTE: Freezer door handle is notched to fit around the dispenser
panel.

Align the top of the refrigerator or freezer handle flush
with the top trim. Fasten the handle to the refrigerator or
freezer door with the screws, using a Phillips screwdriver.

Repeat the process for the other handle.

Caring for Decorator Panels

1. Clean panels with an anti-static cleaner (available in

electronics or computer departments) or mild soap and water
with a clean, soft, damp cloth.

2. Rinse panels thoroughly and blot dry using a dry, soft cloth or

chamois.

NOTE: Do not use paper towels or cleaners which contain
solvents such as ammonia. They can damage the surface of
the panels.

3. If small scratches should appear on the panels, they may be

filled using an automotive paste wax (NOT a cleaner/wax
combination). Apply wax sparingly and buff lightly with a
clean, soft cloth using a circular motion.

Installing Custom Wood Panels

If you plan to install custom wood decorator panels, you will need
to create the panels yourself or consult your cabinetmaker or
carpenter. See dimensional drawings for wood panel inserts.

Flat panels:

You can create a custom flat panel a maximum of

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm)

thick to replace your decorator panels. Flat wood panels less
than

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) thick are not recommended.

Raised panels:

A raised panel design can be created by screwing or gluing wood
panels to

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) backing or by using ³⁄₄" (19.05 mm) stock

with routed edges.

Weight requirements for raised panel inserts:

Refrigerator door panel should not exceed 25 lbs.
(9.98 kg).

Freezer door panels should not exceed 18 lbs. (6.80 kg)
combined weight.
